Fragrance & Perfume

Often the chemicals used in perfumes and fragrance are synthetic compounds and many are known skin sensitizers and irritants. On the majority of cosmetic and skincare product labels the ingredients are not specified separately

Common irritants often labeled simply as "Fragrance" or "Perfume" include:

Wood tars

Benzyl salicylate

Musk ambrette

Sandalwood oil

Cinnamic alcohol

Eugenol

Benzyl alcohol

Oak moss

Geraniol

Check the label of any of your existing products to see if they contain a perfume, parfum or fragrance
